television to allow adequate ventilation. This
will prevent overheating and possible damage
to the television. Dusty places should also be
avoided.

Damage may occur if the television is left in
direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places
subject to extremely high temperatures or
humidity. Place in a location where the tem-
perature remains between 5°C (41°F) min. and
35°C (94°F) max.

The mains supply required for this equipment
is 220-240v AC 50/60Hz. Never connect to a
DC supply or any other power source. DO en-
sure that the television is not standing on the
mains lead. Use only the supplied lead.
